Give an account of today's rehearsal. Are you on track for your performance net week?
For your presentation, consider another similar ensemble - compare your ensemble with that one. In what ways do their roles differ?

After the recitals...
Remember:
The deadline for your written work is 1st March at 5pm.
8th March: No lesson - come to watch the Musical Theatre and Dance performances in the theatre at 3pm.
I will give you your viva voce examinations on 15th March. In these, I will be asking you questions about your preparation for your recital and asking you to evaluate the success of your recital - think about what went well and what didn't, and what you would have done differently.
Acting Students: I am aware this is the date for your performances in the theatre. Therefore, we will do your viva voces (or is it vivas voce??) on 8th March, after the Musical Theatre performance. Please wait for me in the theatre after the performance. - This is no longer going to be possible. 22nd March instead, please.

Term 2, Lesson 1 - Wednesday 11th January
Recitals will be 1st February. 8th February. 22nd February and 1st March.
Here is the Assignment Brief, updated to reflect this.
Next Wednesday, I will let you know who is performing on which date. In the mean time, please let me know if there are any of those 4 dates you can not do - by e-mail, by the end of this week, please. If you have a preference about doing it later or earlier, feel free to let me know but I make no promises about accommodating this.
Remember, you should have been keeping your blog updated weekly since the hand-out date of the assignment...
You should probably have your recital programme chosen by now. Write a draft of your programme notes, at least for those songs that are definitely in the programme.
